This extension point is used to customize the document creation behavior of this plug-in's default text file buffer manager. It allows to specify which document factory should be used in order to create the document instance of a text file buffer created for a certain file content type, file extension, or file name. <br> <br> <h6 class=CaptionFigColumn id=header>Deprecated since 3.2: </h6> This extension must no longer be used. We urge existing clients to remove their contribution: <ul> <li>the file buffer manager now provides an <code>ISynchronizable</code> document. Clients which need a synchronized document can set a lock object. <em>To overwrite an existing lock object is considered bad practice and can break other clients: if the document already has a lock object set then this one should be used by the client</em>.</li> <li>clients which need a different <code>org.eclipse.jface.text.IDocument</code> implementation create the corresponding document in their document provider. The custom document will wrap the document provided by the file buffer.</li> </ul> a fully qualified identifier of the target extension point an optional identifier of the extension instance an optional name of the extension instance The specification of a document factory. In order to find a factory for a given file the attributes of each factory specification are consulted in the following sequence: contentTypeId, fileNames, extensions. If multiple, equally specific factory specifications are found for a given file it is not specified which factory is used. a fully qualified name of the factory implementation class. This class must implement the <code>org.eclipse.core.filebuffers.IDocumentFactory</code> interface. a comma separated list of file extensions for which this factory should be used a comma separated list of file names for which this factory should be used the id of a content type as defined by the <code>org.eclipse.core.runtime.contentTypes</code> extension point for which this factory should be used 3.0 <pre> <extension id="org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui.SnippetDocumentFactory" name="%snippetDocumentFactory.name" point="org.eclipse.core.filebuffers.documentCreation"> <factory extensions="jpage" class="org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.snippeteditor.SnippetDocumentFactory"> </factory> </extension> </pre> Document factories have to implement org.eclipse.core.filebuffers.IDocumentFactory.
